¹ G1063 For G1492 we know [G5758]   G3754 that G1437 if G2257 our G1919 earthly G3614 house G4636 of this tabernacle G2647 were dissolved [G5686]   G2192 , we have [G5719]   G3619 a building G1537 of G2316 God G3614 , an house G886 not made with hands G166 , eternal G1722 in G3772 the heavens.

² G2532 For G1063   G1722 in G5129 this G4727 we groan [G5719]   G1971 , earnestly desiring [G5723]   G1902 to be clothed upon [G5670]   G2257 with our G3613 house G3588 which G1537 is from G3772 heaven:

³ G1489 If G2532 so G1746 be that being clothed [G5671]   G2147 we shall G3756 not G2147 be found [G5701]   G1131 naked.

⁴ G2532 For G1063   G5607 we that are [G5752]   G1722 in G4636 this tabernacle G4727 do groan [G5719]   G916 , being burdened [G5746]   G3756 : not G1894 for that G2309 we would [G5719]   G1562 be unclothed [G5670]   G235 , but G1902 clothed upon [G5670]   G2443 , that G2349 mortality G2666 might be swallowed up [G5686]   G5259 of G2222 life.

⁵ G1161 Now G2716 he that hath wrought [G5666]   G2248 us G1519 for G846 the selfsame thing G5124   G2316 is God G3588 , who G2532 also G1325 hath given [G5631]   G2254 unto us G728 the earnest G4151 of the Spirit.

⁶ G3767 Therefore G2532   G3842 we are always G2292 confident [G5723]   G1492 , knowing [G5761]   G3754 that G1736 , whilst we are at home [G5723]   G1722 in G4983 the body G1553 , we are absent [G5719]   G575 from G2962 the Lord:

⁷ G1063 (For G4043 we walk [G5719]   G1223 by G4102 faith G3756 , not G1223 by G1491 sight:)

⁸ G2292 We are confident [G5719]   G1161 , I say, and G2532   G2106 willing [G5719]   G3123 rather G1553 to be absent [G5658]   G1537 from G4983 the body G2532 , and G1736 to be present [G5658]   G4314 with G2962 the Lord.

⁹ G1352 Wherefore G5389 we labour [G5736]   G2532 , that G1535 , whether G1736 present [G5723]   G1535 or G1553 absent [G5723]   G1511 , we may be [G5750]   G2101 accepted G846 of him.

¹⁰ G1063 For G2248 we G1163 must [G5748]   G3956 all G5319 appear [G5683]   G1715 before G968 the judgment seat G5547 of Christ G2443 ; that G1538 every one G2865 may receive [G5672]   G1223 the things done in G4983 his body G4314 , according G3739 to that G4238 he hath done [G5656]   G1535 , whether G18 it be good G1535 or G2556 bad.

¹¹ G1492 Knowing [G5761]   G3767 therefore G5401 the terror G2962 of the Lord G3982 , we persuade [G5719]   G444 men G1161 ; but G5319 we are made manifest [G5769]   G2316 unto God G1161 ; and G1679 I trust [G5719]   G2532 also G5319 are made manifest [G5771]   G1722 in G5216 your G4893 consciences.

¹² G1063 For G4921 we commend [G5719]   G3756 not G1438 ourselves G3825 again G5213 unto you G235 , but G1325 give [G5723]   G5213 you G874 occasion G2745 to glory G5228 on G2257 our G5228 behalf G2443 , that G2192 ye may have [G5725]   G4314 somewhat to G2744 answer them which glory [G5740]   G1722 in G4383 appearance G2532 , and G3756 not G2588 in heart.

¹³ G1063 For G1535 whether G1839 we be beside ourselves [G5627]   G2316 , it is to God G1535 : or whether G4993 we be sober [G5719]   G5213 , it is for your cause.

¹⁴ G1063 For G26 the love G5547 of Christ G4912 constraineth [G5719]   G2248 us G5124 ; because we thus G2919 judge [G5660]   G3754 , that G1487 if G1520 one G599 died [G5627]   G5228 for G3956 all G686 , then G599 were G3956 all G599 dead [G5627]  :

¹⁵ G2532 And G599 that he died [G5627]   G5228 for G3956 all G2443 , that G2198 they which live [G5723]   G2198 should G3371 not henceforth G2198 live [G5725]   G1438 unto themselves G235 , but G599 unto him which died [G5631]   G5228 for G846 them G2532 , and G1453 rose again [G5685]  .

¹⁶ G5620 Wherefore G575 henceforth G3568   G1492 know [G5758]   G2249 we G3762 no man G2596 after G4561 the flesh G1161 : yea G1499 , though G1097 we have known [G5758]   G5547 Christ G2596 after G4561 the flesh G235 , yet G3568 now G3765 henceforth G1097 know we [G5719]   G3765 him no more.

¹⁷ G5620 Therefore G1536 if any man G1722 be in G5547 Christ G2537 , he is a new G2937 creature G744 : old things G3928 are passed away [G5627]   G2400 ; behold [G5628]   G3956 , all things G1096 are become [G5754]   G2537 new.

¹⁸ G1161 And G3956 all things G1537 are of G2316 God G3588 , who G2644 hath reconciled [G5660]   G2248 us G1438 to himself G1223 by G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2532 , and G1325 hath given [G5631]   G2254 to us G1248 the ministry G2643 of reconciliation;

¹⁹ G5613 To wit G3754 , that G2316 God G2258 was [G5713]   G1722 in G5547 Christ G2644 , reconciling [G5723]   G2889 the world G1438 unto himself G3361 , not G3049 imputing [G5740]   G846 their G3900 trespasses G846 unto them G2532 ; and G5087 hath committed [G5642]   G1722 unto G2254 us G3056 the word G2643 of reconciliation.

²⁰ G3767 Now then G4243 we are ambassadors [G5719]   G5228 for G5547 Christ G5613 , as though G2316 God G3870 did beseech [G5723]   G1223 you by G2257 us G1189 : we pray [G5736]   G5228 you in G5547 Christ's G5228 stead G2644 , be ye reconciled [G5649]   G2316 to God.

²¹ G1063 For G4160 he hath made [G5656]   G266 him to be sin G5228 for G2257 us G3588 , who G1097 knew [G5631]   G3361 no G266 sin G2443 ; that G2249 we G1096 might be made [G5741]   G1343 the righteousness G2316 of God G1722 in G846 him.
